It's So Cold

The birds turned blue. No, it was actually two Bluejays. I haven't seen any in weeks but today a pair of them flew through. One landed on the fence and I managed to snap a picture of its tail view before it flew away.

 

This morning I did yesterday's gratitude journal page. I was most grateful for the sunshine after days of overcast but I wasn't so grateful for the cold north wind that came in with it.

 

The flower today was Cherry Blossoms. It was simpler than I thought it'd be and I even managed to use three different size brushes just like the teacher did. I felt very cool while I juggled them in my hands--size 8 for pink, size 6 for brown, and size 4 for green.

 

In the afternoon I was reading the next manuscript I want to work on and realized that I was having trouble getting it and a later one that expands on the story straight in my head. So I printed out the first one and I'll print the second one tomorrow so I have paper copies to mark and cut up so that it makes more sense to my feeble little brain.

 

Tonight at knitting I added rounds to the body of the Campfire Hat. It's the same hat pattern I've been making the last couple weeks so I don't have to think about it, I just knit.

 

This morning I went over to the clinic and had my blood drawn for another hemoglobin test. I won't get the results until Thursday or maybe Friday but I feel like I'm still in the normal range. Then I stopped at the polling place to vote for State School Superintendent and the local School Board. After that I stopped to pick up a prescription and then at the tax accountant's office to drop off the numbers that I did wrong last week. Whew. It was cold hopping in and out of the car but I'm glad I got those things done.
